On the Rail.

DENVER, May 1Sth.-The west-bound
passenger train on the Atchison, Topeka e.
Santa Fe Railroad, due here this morning,
ran into bunch of cattle twenty miles
east of this CITY, ditching the engine, mail
and express cars. Three tramps were
stealing ride, and one named Moore was
killed. The other two were slightly in
jured. Fortunately, none of the passengers
or the train men were injured, although
the train was running at high rate of

Americas Intercession Saves the Lives
of Three Officers

CRY OF MEXICO, May 1Sth.-Minister
Manning presented President Diaz with
the request of the American Government
for the remission of the death-sentence on
the three Mexican officers condemned by
court-martial to be shot. As the American
Government was the party injured, there
exists no doubt that its interposition for
clemency will save the lives of the prison
els. The action of Secretary Bavard is
highly appreciated here and is
regarded as an exhibition of
generous sentiment toward Mexico. In
Government circles and among leading
politicians Judge Manning's handling of
the case is commended as having probably
prevented serious complications The
Minister'S conduct in the matter has been
characterized by moderation and desire
TO avoid exciting bad feeling. 1t is thought
that President Diaz will undoubtedly be
influenced by the representations of the
American Minister, although it is known
that he felt that stern example should be
made in the case of these officers.

Good Newspapers Make
Readers.

Col. Taylor, of the Boston Globe,
may well congratulate himself on
the tribute paid to his
progressive journalism by the large
party of representative editors who
lately joined him in celebrating the
handsome Globe building and the
established success of his excellent
journal. BY putting the Globe
abreast with the Herald in the cir
Gle of it's readers simply proves
that, while Boston could have only
one daily newspaper of hundred
thousand circulation few years
ago, it can now sustain two such
journals better than it formerly
sustained one. In Boston, as in
Philadelphia, the readers of news
papers have been doubled within a
very few years, and five years
hence, instead of two journals being
away in the lead, there will be 9th
ers crowding on their heels without
affecting the prosperity of those
which have been pioneers in jour
nalistic advancement Philddel-

GOOD Advice to Contributors.

You gain nothing and lose much by
calling on the editor personally with your
articles. If he be an editor who amounts
to anything, he is always busy in office
hours. He has no time to talk with you
OF to listen to your explanations. He
wishes you hadn't called, and he is pre-
JUDGED against you and whatever you
may have written. He may-probably
will-read your article, and if it be of
great merit he may accept it, but he is
no more likely to than if it had reached
him through the mail. In fact, he is not
so apt to look favorably upon it, because
he reasons that if he does you will call on
him again, waste his time and leave
another article, and if this should be de-
clined he naturally supposes that you
would call for personal explanation. He
would rather treat with you by means of
the mail. 1t saves time and annoyance,
and you are sure Of being used as well.
Remember, also, that the only intro
duction to an editor that you need is an
article which you have written and which
he thinks good enough to print. All the
friends you may have on earth, never
mind how powerful they may be, can
never put you on such footing with an

A Big Loss.
Twelve Thousand Dollars Dropped on
High Street.

Twelve Thousand Dollars Dropped on
High Street.
Mr.. Jacob Reeb, well-known
gentleman living on Livingston
pike, met a big loss yesterday after
noon, and one that good many
men couldn't endure. He had been
up at English & English's law Office
where he closed a loan of $4,000
and became the possessor of a
Judgment note. From there he
went to the Court House, and some
time later he reached into his in
to his inside pocket to get Il bundle
of notes which he held from debtors
so as to put with them the acquired
note, I've discovered to his horror
that they were gone. They had
been simply folded in piece of a
heavy paper, and with them be-
tween $500 and 5000 in cash, which
was also lost.
The notes were eight or nine in
number, and varied in value from
$1,000 to $4,000 each. The loss oc-
cured somwhere between Broad
street and the Court Household
Unlbus Times.

Money in Circulation.

AT the present time, deducting
the money held by the Treasury
and the banks, the amount of cir
culation really in the hands of the
people can hardly fall much short
of $900,000,0OO, or about $l6.25 to
every man, woman and child in the
country. This amount amply suf-
fees for the business needs of the
United States, supplemented as it
is by the use of checks and drafts,
So extensive is the use of checks
and drafts at the present time,
alongside of coin and other recog-
nized forms of money, that it may
be questioned whether the quantity
of cash in a community is as much
now as formerly a measure of it's
prosperity. On the 18th of Septem-
Der, 1881, the total receipts of the
national banks in New York, in
other reserve cities, and of the
banks elsewhere in the United
States, aggregated where in the
United States, aggregated $295, ,233,-
779, but of this amount only 1.3S
per cent. was in gold, OH per cent.
in silver and 1876 per cent. in paper
currency, while 94.09 per cent, was
in checks, drafts, etc. In New York
city less than per cent. of the
payments made were in gold or in
currency, while 1886 per cent. were
in checks and drafts. In the banks
elsewhere, and not in the reserve
cities, 3.3l per cent. of all payments
were made in gold, 0.6S in silver,
1927 per. cent. in currency and
81.74 per cent. in checks and drafts.
from this exhibit of the amount of
business transacted in one day in
one day in few cities by cities by
means other than gold or silver
coin or currency it is evident that

backer may very we'll overestimate

An Expensive BIT Of Brag.
In leading restaurant in st. Peters
burg six officers Of the Imperial Horse
guards sat recently, it is stated, drinking
champagne. Not far from them sat an
insignificant little man, with shabby
coat and an unkempt beard, and glass
of liquor in front Of him. It was not
long before he became aware that he was
being ridiculed by the officers aforesaid.
By and by, as they became more offensive
in their remarks on his personal appear
ance, the cheapness Of what he was
drinking, etc., he called for the waiter
and said: Bring me six bottles of your
best champagne" The waiter hest
tated. "Did you not hear what said2"
asked the little man. The waiter brought
the wine and six glasses. "Take these
glasses away and fetch basin-one as
large as you can find." The waiter
again hesitated, but obeyed instantly at
the peremptory repetition Of the order.
